Has anyone billed Medicare for a hospice patient in an ASC setting? If so, what modifier did you use? The surgeon is using GW, but that doesn't seem to pertain to our facility.
 
Our ASC has used GW also

Modifier GW is used when a provider of services (physician, ambulance supplier, etc.) performs services not related to the hospice diagnosis. Certain Medicare beneficiaries can choose hospice benefits instead of Medicare for treatment and management of their terminal condition
